6 Beautiful and Easy-to-Grow Flowers That Even Lazy Gardeners Can Keep Alive

Petunia

Petunias come in a rich variety of colors and flower shapes, making them a great choice whether placed on a balcony or in a courtyard. Petunias are so vigorous that it is really hard to kill them.

Care tips:

1. Petunias like sunny, warm and humid spots, such as a south-facing balcony or south-facing windowsill.

2. Petunias do not tolerate waterlogging, so avoid watering too much at once; water about once every 5-7 days.

3. If you want petunias to fill out the pot, remember to pinch off the growing tips regularly.

Kalanchoe blossfeldiana

Kalanchoe is probably the easiest flower to grow. If beginners want to try growing flowers, they might as well give kalanchoe a try.

Care tips:

1. Kalanchoe likes sunlight, so sunny spots like a south-facing balcony or south-facing windowsill suit it best.

2. Kalanchoe likes warmth; the temperature should not be too high or too low. Above 30 degrees or below 10 degrees, it may go dormant.

3. Kalanchoe is drought-tolerant and not picky about soil; generally, slightly acidic sandy soil (pH 5.5-6.5) is most suitable.

Hyacinth

Hyacinths not only have a name that sounds upscale, but their blooms are also very noble and elegant. In fact, hyacinths are very easy to care for.

Care tips:

1. Hyacinths like sunlight, so remember to place them somewhere with plenty of light, such as a south-facing balcony or south-facing windowsill.

2. During the growing period and flowering period, water hyacinths about once every 3-5 days; after the flowering period, water about once every 6-10 days.

3. Annual hyacinths need almost no fertilizer at all, making them perfect for people who love flowers but are a bit lazy.

Portulaca grandiflora

Portulaca grandiflora is commonly known as the sun rose, and some even call it "unkillable," which shows just how tenacious its vitality is.

Care tips:

1. Portulaca grandiflora is a strongly sun-loving plant. Gardeners with a yard should best put it in the yard; those without a yard

can place it somewhere with plenty of light, such as a south-facing balcony or south-facing windowsill.

2. Portulaca grandiflora has high water needs; when watering, you can water generously, generally once a day, and on very hot summer days, twice a day.

3. If you want Portulaca grandiflora to fill out the pot, you can prune and pinch off the growing tips appropriately.

Cosmos

Cosmos flowers are small and exquisite, usually grown in the ground, and often bloom in a big sweep. For gardeners, seeing cosmos bloom is a very satisfying experience.

Care tips:

1. Cosmos likes sun and moisture; usually water once every 1-2 days.

2. The soil for growing cosmos should not be too fertile; overly fertile soil easily leads to leggy growth and fewer flowers.

3. Cosmos is commonly seen in the north; during the flowering period, remember to pinch off the growing tips regularly.

Viola cornuta

Viola cornuta not only comes in many colors but is also very vigorous; a small plant will keep branching on its own until it fills the pot.

Care tips:

1. Viola cornuta is generally grown from seed; in the south it is mostly sown in autumn, and in the north in spring.

2. Viola cornuta likes a cool environment with plenty of light and does not tolerate high temperatures. In spring and autumn, it can be placed on a south-facing balcony or south-facing windowsill; in summer, avoid exposure to strong sun.

3. Viola cornuta likes acidic sandy soil; you can appropriately supplement with nitrogen and potassium fertilizer, with a nitrogen-to-potassium ratio of 1:1.5.
